Per Delta’s Shipping and Routing Guide, of which this section is a part, certain shipping services are considered “pre-approved”, allowing parties to ship goods on Delta’s behalf using these services without additional authorization. Delta Air Lines requires that all shippers, internal and external, make every reasonable effort to ship goods using the "pre-approved services".
On occasion it may be necessary to ship items using an expedited service level. In such situations, when the shipment of a part, product, or document has been determined to be of extreme importance and the standard shipping services considered "pre-approved" do not meet the timing required for delivery, expedited services may be requested. Shippers must achieve authorization according to the policy noted below prior to scheduling the expedited shipment.
For Delta shippers, a report identifying non-compliant shipping activities will be made available to department leaders to assist in compliance management.
When shipping a package or document to Delta Air Lines or billing Delta on third (3rd) party basis, you should complete the Air bill as detailed below:
1. Billing on a Third (3rd) Party Basis:
